Read the statement after the jump.</span><a name="more"></a></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span><p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">NADA Chairman Ed Tonkin</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">"It's a sad day for this 70-year-old marque, and its loss is disappointing for the more than 1,700 dedicated dealers who sell the Mercury brand.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">NADA's concern is that Ford treats each of its Mercury dealers fairly and equitably, especially the 276 of whom sell Lincoln and Mercury exclusively. Another important concern is that Mercury customers be reassured by Ford, and that all warranties will be honored and parts and service will continue to be available.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span>Ford also needs to move quickly to take into account the millions of dollars that dealers have invested in facilities, equipment, personnel and training. They deserve fair compensation."</span></span></p></blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5145539154932019508-1369576892823942454?l=auto-loancar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>auto carhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06202403471208190541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145539154932019508.post-53923101722464626412010-04-24T10:19:00.000-07:002010-04-24T10:20:57.713-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong> <small><img style="width: 501px; height: 318px;" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/04/2011-phaeton.jpg" alt="" vspace="4" border="0" hspace="0" /><br />2011 Volkswagen Phaeton – Click above for high-res image gallery</small></strong></em></div><br />As impressive of a vehicle as the seminal Volkswagen Phaeton may have been, the uber-luxe German sedan was an unqualified flop of an experiment here in the United States. In some other parts of the world, though, VW's BMW and Mercedes-Benz (not to mention VW-owned Audi) competitor is still going strong.<br /><br />Hence, VW has seen fit to give the Phaeton a mild update for the 2011 model year, and it tellingly used the Beijing Motor Show as the platform to reveal its top-shelf sedan. In case you missed the exterior changes, take a closer look at the front and rear fascias, where you'll find tighter lines and new LED lighting.<br /><br />It's inside the cabin where the Phaeton gets the bulk of its improvements. Included in the refresh is VW's latest navigation technology, along with a helpful seeing-eye camera that can monitor speed limit and no passing signs and inform lazy drivers of the data. There is also a lane-departure system that keeps the car between the proper lines and Dynamic Light Assist that adjusts the headlights to keep from blinding oncoming traffic.<br /><br />Powertrain options remain the same as before, with a 450-horsepower 6.0-liter W12 engine taking top billing over a 335-hp 4.2-liter V8 and a 3.6-liter V6 that puts out 280 ponies. Finally, those looking to save a few bucks at the pump can opt for a 3.0-liter diesel V6.

Opel, Seat and Renault were just some of the manufacturers that higher prices more than once. However, that the prices of most Ford, with four additional increases in less than one year up to 2500 pounds to the price of a new Fiesta.<br /><br />Simultaneously, the 'showroom tax is levied, which was introduced in April, one of the reasons why people would buy a new car this year. This is the first time tax years. It is used to buy people, the cars, loaded free of customers with high emissions and costs up to € 950 for most models.<br /><br />Other reasons for the acquisition of new customers is that said a lot of people buy, they always needed, while others to the fact that they could not afford a car with all the other costs that a user says Parker, "The new family hatchback purchase must have at least 17k. My salary was frozen last year, but the cost of living rose significantly.<br /><br />"Plus, that crazy price tag higher insurance premiums, VED, labor charges dealers (my current garage plus an hourly rate of €) 82 to € 111 this year. I simply can not afford a new car."<br /><br />Despite the response to the rising costs, there is hope for automotive manufacturers and 45 percent of users surveyed said Parker, they would buy a new car in 2010.<br /><br />Besides the need for a new car is the main reason why people buy in 2010 for the other two decisions are people who benefit from the scheme were to buy scrap.<br /><br />These buyers take from now on to scrapping the £ 2,000 discount, after the government announced that the cash-for-scrap plans by 31 March would be extended or if the balance expires, whichever occurs first.<br /><br />The pattern of the buyer wants to reduce car looks set to continue as a user's Parker stated that the reason for them was for a new car, which wanted a more fuel-efficient cars are looking to buy.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5145539154932019508-1806182094578640663?l=auto-loancar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>auto carhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06202403471208190541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145539154932019508.post-68130818820865491592010-03-08T16:14:00.000-08:002010-03-08T17:30:54.311-08:00Green Cars<br />Green Cars <br /><br />Not only can we help you to become a greener motorist, we can help you to save a fortune at the same time.

We started Auto eBid back in 2003 to do exactly that, because no matter how hard we negotiated, we felt that we never got the best deal on a new vehicle. Driving away from the showroom with the feeling that we could have got a better price always took away some of the pleasure of buying a new vehicle.<br /><br />So, how does Auto eBid work? Easy! Choose your vehicle and build it to your own specification, using our online tool. Immediately you?ll see its RRP and the Auto eBid savings you will make. Our unique reverse auction process enables dealers to compete online with each other to further lower the price that you actually pay for your new vehicle.<br /><br />You will be buying your new vehicle with total peace of mind directly from a UK dealer, you can specify either a UK main franchised dealer, new car broker or allow all main dealers and brokers: all the benefits of buying on-line combined with the reliability of traditional dealers.<br /><br />If you want to find your closest dealer, visit our New Car & Van Dealer Directory.<br /><br />Contract Hire, Lease Purchase and PCP is

September’s arrival comes the annual car buying season. But while selecting the type of car comes easily to most people, making a decision on the color of a car can be a stumbling block. Some people simply go with their favorite color, while others mull over color choices by considering factors such as climate, type of vehicle use, or the most practical choice, going with what is least likely to show dirt. But what if even that fails? Then try feng shui. Yes, feng shui, the Chinese guide used for arranging homes and offices, can also be used for selecting colors based on an individual’s own personal feng shui. </p><p> </p><p>According to personal feng shui, each person has an individual feng shui number that is based on gender and date of birth. This number, also called a “kua" number is associated with a color. By selecting the correct color for an individual’s particular feng shui number, the driver will experience better luck over all because the color is harmonized with that individual. </p><p> </p><p>Use personal feng shui to select a “success" color, which can be helpful when buying that luxury sedan. More into soccer practice than boardrooms? Choose a “family" color. Both colors are determined by the driver’s kua number. To determine the driver’s kua number, and subsequently the color of car that is appropriate, use the instructions below and then check the chart that follow for selecting a success or family color. Now, who should drive the Mary Kay pink Cadillacs? Anyone with a number 3 kua number! </p><p> </p><p style="font-weight: bold;">The calculation is as follows: </p><p> </p><p>-Take the year of birth, i.e., 1971 </p><p><br />-Add the last two years together (7+1=8) </p><p><br />For men, subtract the number from 10 (10-8+2); 2 is the kua number </p><p><br />For women, add 5 to the number (5+8=13; 1+3= 4); 4 is the kua number </p><p><br />For years such as 1982 which have a double digit, be sure to reduce to one number </p><p><br />8+2=10 (1+0=1) </p><p><br />10-1=9 (Kua for men) </p><p><br />5+1=6 (Kua for women) </p><p> </p><p style="font-weight: bold;">Kua Number </p><p> </p><p>1 </p><p><br />Money/Success Colors: Green, Purple </p><p><br />Family Colors: Red, Purple, Burgundy </p><p> </p><p>2 </p><p><br />Money/Success Colors: Yellow, Brown, Beige </p><p><br />Family Colors: Silver, Gold, White, Pearl </p><p> </p><p>3 </p><p><br />Money/Success Colors: Red, Pink, Burgundy </p><p><br />Family Color: Green </p><p> </p><p>4 </p><p><br />Money/Success Colors: Blue, Black, Purple </p><p><br />Family Colors: Dark Green, Brown </p><p> </p><p>5 </p><p><br />Money/Success Colors: Yellow, Brown, Beige </p><p><br />Family Colors:Gray, Silver, Gold, White </p><p> </p><p>6 </p><p><br />Money/Success Colors: Gray, Silver, White </p><p><br />Family Colors: Yellow, Brown, Beige </p><p> </p><p>7 </p><p><br />Money/Success Colors: Gold, Silver, White/Pearl </p><p><br />Family Colors: Yellow, Brown, Beige </p><p> </p><p>8 </p><p><br />Money/Success Colors: Yellow, Brown, Beige </p><p><br />Family Colors: Gold, Silver, Gray, White </p><p> </p><p>9 </p><p><br />Money/Success Colors: Color Dark Green, Brown </p><p><br />Family Colors: Blue, Black, Purple</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5145539154932019508-7748187726116934652?l=auto-loancar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>auto carhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06202403471208190541noreply@blogger.com0
